Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano lead the first phase of an invasion of Ryloth, but it comes at a cost and a valuable lesson for Ahsoka.
A new The Clone Wars story arc begins with “Storm Over Ryloth.” The Republic is prepared to retake Ryloth from the Separatists. However, a blockade under the command of Captain Mur Tuuk stands in the way. Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, are tasked with breaking this blockade. A trap set by Mur Tuuk and Ahsoka’s refusal to follow orders leads to a disaster for Anakin’s fleet. They aren’t giving up though. Ahsoka has to struggle with consequences of her actions when Anakin places her in charge of their second attack. We’re breaking down another incredible episode of The Clone Wars in this episode of Podcast Stardust.
